'Backrooms' Becomes A24's Highest-Grossing Film Ever, Directed by 20-Year-Old

"Backrooms," directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons, has become A24's highest-grossing film of all time. The horror film is set in an eerie world of vacant hallways and empty corridors that blur the line between reality and nightmare, adapted from Parsons's own YouTube series, which was inspired by a 4Chan post about liminal spaces. The film is seen as part of a Gen Z takeover of Hollywood filmmaking.
